"Our" Massacres of Civilians in Afghanistan!

The growing hostility of the Afghan people to OUR occupation of "their" country, found expression in a poll conducted earlier this month by the Washington Post, ABC News, the BBC- The British Broadcasting Corporation, and Germany's ARD television. The survey found that more than half of the Afghan population wants the US and other foreign forces to begin their withdrawal by mid- 2011, if not immediately. Three-quarters of those surveyed supported negotiations between the government and the Taliban. In other news, support for the Taliban in Kandahar province, the main focus of the ongoing US surge, has increased to the point that 45 percent are now saying that they see that movement favorably. We should consider that poll a pale indication of both the popular outrage over the US military offensive, and the level of support for the armed groups fighting against our occupation. The situation on the ground is much worse than a year ago, because the Taliban insurgency has made progress across the country. It is now VERY DIFFI- CULT to work outside the cities, let alone move around Afghanistan by road: The insurgents have built momentum, exploiting the shortcomings of the Afghan government , and the mistakes of the "coalition".
